[Verse 1]
Burnt my toast
Missed the train
Swore I’d quit
But I’m late again
Sunburnt nose
Thongs in the rain
Still laughing at my own bad luck
Said the wrong thing
Way too loud
Tripped on the way into the crowd
But I’ll buy the next round
Make my mum proud
Yeah
I just keep getting back up
[Chorus]
I’m not perfect
But I’m Australian
That’s close enough for me (hey!)
Got a scar on my knee and a drawl in my speech
And I’m fine with the rough round the edges you see
I’m not perfect
But I’m Australian
That’s close enough for me
Raise a glass
Sing it bad
Sing it proud
Yeah
Close enough’s all we need
[Verse 2]
Call you “mate” five minutes in
Say “yeah
Nah” then change again
Leave my keys where I’ve just been
Then blame the house like it moved on me
Cheer the battler
Tease my mates
Talk big dreams over paper plates
If the world wants polished
They can wait
I’d rather be real and free
[Chorus]
I’m not perfect
But I’m Australian
That’s close enough for me (oh yeah)
Got a scar on my knee and a drawl in my speech
And I’m fine with the rough round the edges you see
I’m not perfect
But I’m Australian
That’s close enough for me
Raise a glass
Sing it bad
Sing it proud
Yeah
Close enough’s all we need
